The Bound Between Us

Chapter 267
After a fiery make-out session, Herman held her in his arms, his hands cupping her butt, “Did you drive all the way from
Riverdale by yourself? That’s over 200 miles! Why did you get here so late?”
She wrapped her arms around his neck, glanced around the room, and chuckled, “I came to check up on you, to see if you were
fooling around with other women.”
She was telling the truth. Anastasia was here to check on him.
Herman laughed, “Darling, you’re always welcome to inspect.”
As he spoke, Herman couldn’t wait to kiss her. He carried her to the bed and nipped lightly at her collarbone. He was the only
one in the room, and because of a past incident with another woman, he had asked the hotel to change the sheets.
Seeing no other women in the room, Anastasia was relieved and happy. The encounter after hours of travel made her lose
control of her emotions.
Anastasia leaned in to kiss him, more passionately than he had. Her response excited him, and he quickly turned his excitement
into action, getting intimate.
The next day.
Anastasia was exhausted and slept until noon. As she opened her eyes, she saw Herman working on his laptop in a suit. To
Anastasia, this was pure bliss. Herman looked mature and charming in his suit, making her want to get close.
Anastasia nestled in the blanket and laughed, “Honey, you remind me of the saying ‘don’t judge a book by its cover”.” Who would
have thought that such a handsome and godlike man could be so passionate in bed.
Herman smirked, put down his laptop, and sat on the edge of the bed. He gently stroked her cheek, “Seems like my wife is very
satisfied with my performance last night.”
Anastasia bashfully covered half of her face with the blanket, revealing only her eyes. She blinked and chuckled, “Oh, more than
satisfied.”
Anastasia looked both cute and sexy. Upon seeing her, Herman’s stomach tightened, “You’re such a succubus.”

If he didn’t have work to do, Herman would have loved to have sex with Anastasia again.
Herman kissed Anastasia’s forehead, “I ordered some food from the hotel. Have something to eat. I have work in the afternoon,
so I can’t take you with me. You can wait for me at the hotel or take a walk around.”
Anastasia understood Herman was here for a business trip. She sat up in the blanket, “Don’t worry about me. I’ll wait for you at
the hotel.”
Anastasia leaned against the headboard, revealing her shoulders, which made Herman restless. Her chestnut curls spilled over
her shoulders, looking slightly messy but adding a touch of sexy disarray. Her delicate features and lovely expression were
incredibly tempting.
Herman loosened his tie. His hands, defined by the knuckles, held her face. His voice raspy, “Let’s get to business first. I can
push back the work for an hour.”
Anastasia was both amused and exasperated, “Herman, it’s broad daylight, you...”
To Herman, nothing was more important than Anastasia. Because of her, he had kept his client, Mr. Slater, waiting in the hotel
lobby for five hours, from 8 in the morning to 1 in the afternoon.
Mr. Slater couldn’t help but ask Nelson, “Is Mr. Salstrom feeling unwell? Or is he unhappy with our project?”
Nelson answered with a smile, “Mr. Slater, please be patient. Mr. Salstrom is busy.”
Curious, Mr. Slater asked, “What is Mr. Salstrom busy with?”
Nelson simply answered, “Mr. Salstrom’s wife came last night.”

As Herman’s assistant, Nelson knew about Anastasia’s arrival. Because he didn’t know she was coming, Nelson had almost
made a big mistake trying to find Herman. Now that Anastasia was here, she could pacify the angry lion. Even if something
happened, he could feel safe for the time being, at least he wouldn’t have to go to Antarctica for work.
Surprised, Mr. Slater asked, “Mr. Salstrom is married? I didn’t see his wife yesterday.” Mr. Slater felt uneasy. if he had known that
Mr. Salstrom’s wife would be coming, he wouldn’t have arranged for other female companions. Hadn’t that backfired?
